If you're going to have the "At the Theater" Academy Awards Party I've suggested, here's the cocktail for you. You're serving popcorn and movie theater candy, so why not serve a cocktail that mimics the taste of a favorite candy of moviegoers? Junior Mints. This drink has the peppermint and chocolate taste you associate with those tiny bites of goodness. And I've used my secret of adding a little bit of club soda to the mix to keep the drinks from knocking you on your butt.For an extra kick of decadent flavor, dip your cocktail glasses in melted chocolate. The chocolate-covered rim will do even more to help convince you you're smacking on a Junior Mint.
Junior Mint Martini
Makes two cocktails.
2 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka
1/2 ounce peppermint schnapps
1/2 white creme de cacao
1 ounce simple syrup
2 ounces club soda
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into chocolate or cocoa-rimmed martini glass and serve immediately.
